On 13 December 2017, a roundtable was held between these parties, along with our member small business lenders and financiers. The roundtable included a video link between participants in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

The roundtable was a highly productive conversation which illustrated the overwhelming goodwill and positive progress in regard to the project.

The roundtable brought together a sizeable community of lenders who are ordinarily competitors and have very different business models to collaborate on a common way forward for the industry.

The roundtable led to some very clear foundation elements and timeframes to the project.
